Picked up the new engine yesterday.Its a bit of a secret at the mo so heres a poor quality pic for you to look at  All i can say at the mo is its brand spanking new engine never been fitted to any car. Even all the plugs on the block are brass coloured  Will post more good pics as the build continues  |

Every part is brand new including Block, head, internals ect so no never been on the road.The price is secret, where from is a secret at the mo and this is the only one so it was rude not to sell our old engine and buy this There is a couple of things in the picture which could give an idea of what it is |

What a lovely thing it is and well done for finding it -I'm so glad it isn't a display thing and was organised for transporter or pit lane portability. How long has it sat waiting to be liberated for use and what shell will it transform? It needs a carl style quality home(his 6 engined 205 for example)- please keep updates coming for those who just love to see prjects of quality exposed bit by bit. (see Dixons race car build as an example.)  ________________________________________ New Forum same high quality intellectual debate!Team Zimmer™ |
